Thing 05: Presentation Tools

Having a class set of ChromeBooks in my classroom has opened up a world of opportunities for me!  But unfortunately, I never seem to have the time or the know how on how to best incorporate digital tools and platforms in my classroom.  I have a pretty good grasp on all things Google, but outside of that, I am lost! Today, I had the opportunity to explore some new tools ("yay" screams the nerd in me!)  First, I clicked on Prezi.  But, there is a fee to use it, so that was that.  Next, I tried Bunkr, but it appears that they have merged with another company and are no longer providing the services they used to??  I played around with Carnival Slides-cute, but nothing special.  My students might like it for more slide options on Google Slides, but nothing to write home about.  Finally, I found something that I think it pretty awesome, fun and versatile.  We'll see if my students say the same thing.  I explored Buncee.  It was actually a lot of fun to create and I cam picture many, many units that it will fit in to.  Two down sides...it looks like if you want to grant access to a group of people (aka students), that there is a fee.  I'm hoping students could log in on their own and use it without doing so under my name so I wouldn't have to pay for it.  And, if my students are anything like me, they will spend more time with the decorating, stickers and animations than they will on the content.
Here is my creation! Enjoy!
